Chapter 1448


    The morning after, Arabe had barely finished her scrambled eggs and toast when her phone buzzed


    with an urgent call.


    "Boss, we''ve got trouble. There''s a group iming our skincare line ruined their faces. They''ve shown


    up at thepany’s doorstep with their families and reporters, waving banners and making a scene.


    Our PR team is on it, but these folks are adamant it''s our products to me. The PR head says it''s


    your call on how to handle this. Should we go legal, call the cops, or have security escort them off the


    property?"


    “Our skincare causing problems?" Arabe was taken aback. This was a first.


    "Yes. They''ve got receipts, surveince footage of them using our products at home, and evenb


    reports iming our products contain harmful substances that have caused allergic reactions and


    inmmation."


    “Are theseb results credible?"


    "They''re from Dawnstar, a reputable firm. It''s unlikely they''re faked”"


    “But our skincare line went through all the proper channels before hitting the market. How could it


    possibly contain banned substances? Could there have been a mistake somewhere in the process?"


    Arabe knew the stakes were high; after all, the gship line of the Ar-Bl-Clear Group was her


    brainchild. If there was a problem, surely those close to her, who also used these products, would have


    experienced issues long before this public outcry.


    "What are they demanding?" Arabe cut to the chase.


    "They want to see you, face-to-face, in front of the press. They''re calling for an exnation".


    "I''m on my way"


    She hung up, gave her aunt a quick heads-up, and dashed out the door.


    Shortly after Arabe left, Eunice got wind that the Ar-Bl-Clear Group was in hot water and realized


    why her niece had hurried out.


    Outside the group''s headquarters, a curly-haired woman was angrily decrying to the reporters, "Their


    whitening mask promised a fair and radiantplexion. Look at my face after a month''s use—ruined!


    Just look at this redness, these bumps and pustules. How am I supposed to face anyone now?"


    The journalists, smelling a sensational story, were all ears. “Do you have proof their product is at fault?"


    “I took that mask to CCT for testing. CCT is an impartial, major organization.

    The results showed that the mask contains three banned substances, which caused my allergic


    reaction."


    Another young woman, a 21-year-old college student, kept her face hidden behind a mask. Only after


    much coaxing from a reporter did she tearfully remove it, revealing a frightfully red and damaged


    "Is the Ar-Bl-Clear Group to me for your condition?" a reporter thrust a microphone in her direction.


    She nodded, "I heard that the Ar-Bl-Clear Group''s top products, developed by their head executive,


    were the best in the brand. Seduced by the rave reviews online, I took out a student loan and splurged


    over nine hundred dors on theplete skincare set. For a student like me, it was a fortune.


    l used it diligently every day, even when my skin started reacting, hoping one day I''d achieve that


    porcin, rosy-cheeked look from the ads. But after a month, the burning sensation worsened, and my


    skin felt rough and parched. Frightened, I finally saw a dermatologist, only to be diagnosed with severe


    inmmation. The doctor said it would take extensive treatment to heal, and even then, returning to my


    original condition was impossible."


    Tears streamed down her cheeks as the college girl recounted her ordeal.
